MGM Home Entertainment sends over details on this new Simon Pegg comedy

Further Details:
MGM Home Entertainment has announced How To Lose Friends & Alienate People which stars Simon Pegg, Kirsten Dunst, Danny Huston, Megan Fox and Jeff Bridges. The comedy will be available to own from the 17th February, and should retail at around $27.98. The film itself will be presented in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen, along with an English Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround track. Extras will include audio commentaries with director Robert Weide and star Simon Pegg, and a making of featurette.

Synopsis:Quote: How to Lose Friends and Alienate People follows the escapades of Sidney Young (Pegg), a small-time aspiring British celebrity journalist who is hired by an upscale magazine after catching the attention of Clayton Harding (Bridges) during an event by creating a ridiculous scene with the help of a wild pig. Turning in a new direction, Sidney begins his descent into success and re-establishes himself from lonely outsider to confidante of starlet Sophie Maes (Fox), and enters into a love affair with colleague Alison Olsen (Dunst) that will either make him or break him.

Warning! Simon Pegg and director Robert Weide are recommending that you stay away from the US Region 1 release as much as possible. There are hours of extras that MGM decided not to put on there - they ask that everyone try as hard as possible to get the UK Region 2 version. Look at Simon's posts at Peggster.net.

She's a flat actress, with terrible acting and a horrible attitude. She's comes off as a vapid, yet pretty girl in the press, and it's no wonder she's been cast in the next Diablo Cody film...OH, oh you were expecting something like "I'd hit that with an iron fist."

It did have a wide release on October 3rd, which 3 other big movies were being released the same day, if i can remember correctly it was Nick and Norah's, Blindness and Flash of Genius, i think there were more. Thats why it did so poorly at the box office.

I have mixed feelings about this. I haven't seen it, but it looks funny. The trailers always show the funniest parts though, so it might not be that funny. I love Simon Pegg, Jeff Bridges, and Megan Fox. The synopsis sounds retarded however. The mixed critical reaction doesn't help. I'll rent it... maybe.
